Braunwald here we come!
Our camp in the beautiful Glarnerland offers formidable views on the Tödi!
In our newest friLingue camp you will learn English or German in small groups of 6 participants.
During 15 hours per week we study English or German. In the afternoon, we explore the surroundings together, go on an action-packed excursion or organise exciting workshops - and there's no shortage of fun!
After an intensive long day, we have a delicious homemade dinner from our typical friLingue cuisine and then we continue with the evening programme, where we really go all out again.
Braunwald - the sunny terrace of the Glarnerland - ideal for learning German or English.
The camp in Braunwald takes place in our Adrenalin Backpacker Hostel. Here we have plenty of space: three large terraces, single, double, 4-bed, 6-bed and multi-bed rooms and a bar with syrup and other non-alcoholic delicacies! There's also a table football table and a pool table.
Braunwald is car-free and lies on a sunny terrace high above the sea of fog. The resort can be reached by car from Zurich in just over an hour. Or you can take the accompanied train from Zurich HB, leaving on Sunday afternoon.

The Adrenalin Backpackers Hotel awaits you on a sunny terrace in the Glarus Alps with the most beautiful views! The common room offers a lot of space where we can learn, play, dance, laugh and do much more together. We also have a common room with a pool table, soccer box and it will certainly never be boring!
For those who love the camaraderie of group living, our spacious 4-6 bedroom rooms with shared bathrooms provide a vibrant and social atmosphere where campers can bond and create lasting connections. Alternatively, if privacy is preferred, our 4-6 bedroom rooms with private bathrooms offer a more intimate setting while still accommodating a small group.
For families or close-knit friends, our 2-bedroom rooms with private bathrooms provide a cozy and homely space to relax and unwind. For those seeking their own private sanctuary, our single rooms with private bathrooms offer a tranquil retreat where campers can rest and recharge. We also offer dormitory-style rooms with shared bathrooms, perfect for fostering new friendships and building a strong sense of community.
Whichever room type you choose, rest assured that your child's comfort and safety are our utmost priority.
This is a sample programme. Activities and excursions may change depending on weather and other factors beyond our control.
